*~*Two figures with cloaks on, standing right outside the village*~*

Female Figure: You ready?

Male Figure: Let's do this.

Female Figure: But remember, I must be back in one hour.

Male Figure: Calm down. All we need is apples and carrots.

Female Figure: OK, I'll get the apples since, you always eat them.

Male Figure: Hey! That was one time!

Female Figure: *gives the Male Figure a look* One time?

Male Figure: OK! Fourteen times!

*The Female Figure giggles*

Male Figure: Do you always have to be right?

Female Figure: *smiles jokingly* I don't have to be, I just usually am!

Male Figure: *sarcastic* *smiles* Ha. Ha.

Female Figure: *rolls her eyes* Come on. We got to go.

Male Figure: Fine. Let's go.

*They pull-up their hoods and walk inside the village*

*They stop in front of a giant statue*

Female Figure: We meet right here in 30 minutes, got it?

Male Figure: Got it!

*They split-up*

*Female Figure starts walking around keeping her head down the whole time except when she glances-up to look at the stands*

*Suddenly someone runs into her, knocking them both to the ground and her hood off*

Guy: Oh, I'm so sorry! *starts standing-up* I didn't see you! *offers a hand to help her up* Need a hand?

*Female Figure takes his hand cautiously and he pulls her up*

*Female Figure puts her hood up*

Guy: Well that was a good first impression. Let's try this again. *reaches out his hand* *smiles* Hi, I'm Austin.

*Female Figure just standing there*

Austin: And your name…

*Female Figure still just standing there*

Austin: *puts his hand down* Hello…Miss…Are you deaf? Can you hear me?

*Female Figure nods*

Austin: Or mute?

Female Figure: *says shyly* No, I can talk.

Austin: Good. That's good.*looks closer at her face* Have we...met...before?

Female Figure: No!

Austin: *still looking closely* Are you sure? What's your name?

Female Figure: I mustn't say my name.

Austin: Why not?

Female Figure: I mustn't say why.

Austin: OK. *thinks* Then I'll call you Mussy.

Female Figure: Mussy?

Austin: *smiles* Yeah. Like "mustn't"

Female Figure: Oh no, please don't call me that.

Austin: Well, I have to call you something.

Female Figure: I've always liked the name Alyssa.

Austin: *smiles* Alyssa it is then! So, Alyssa, what are you looking for?

"Alyssa": Apples.

Austin: Great. I know exactly where they are, I'll show you. *starts walking*

*"Alyssa" standing there*

Austin: *notices she's not with him and turns around* Come on. I can't show you, if you don't come with me.

*"Alyssa" starts walking*

Austin: So, Alyssa, are you new here?

"Alyssa": Well, sort of. I live close by. I just don't get to visit much.

Austin: Why not?

"Alyssa": I mustn't say.

Austin: OK, where do you live?

"Alyssa": I mustn't say that either.

Austin: Anything you can say?

"Alyssa": Not much.

Austin: You know, Alyssa, you're a very mysterious girl.

"Alyssa": Yeah… More or less.

Austin: Huh?

"Alyssa": Nothing… Nothing…

Austin: OK?...Aw! *gestures* Here they are! Apples! Apples of every kind! You've got Granny Smith… Fuji… McIntosh*turns to her* What kind do you need?

"Alyssa": Just plain red ones. *starts putting apples in her basket*

Austin: *smiles a little* Oh, but Alyssa. Nothing is ordinary. Everything is unique in their own way. So I guess, they're uniquely unique. *laughs a little at his joke* *picks up an apple from her basket* Even the simplest things in life. Take this apple for instance. As the name implies, it's as red as it is delicious. But it's not the same as every apple in your basket, you just have to look close enough.

"Alyssa": I guess so.

Austin: *smiles* Ah,ah,ah! You know so! *flips the apple in the air* Everything has its own mystic. *catches the apple and takes a bite*

"Alyssa": *giggles* Impressive *pays the apple vendor*

Austin: *smiles bigger* Thanks.

"Alyssa": Thankyou, kind sir!

Apple Vendor: No, Thankyou.

*"Alyssa" looks at the time*

"Alyssa": Oh no! I'm going to be late! He's waiting for me!

Austin: He? Who's waiting for you?

"Alyssa": Sorry, Austin, I must go. *starts walking away, quickly*

Austin: Alyssa, wait!

*"Alyssa" stops and turns around*

Austin: When are you coming back?

"Alyssa": That's hard to say. Just keep an eye out.

Austin: *smiles* OK…I will.

"Alyssa": OK. Now bye!

Austin: Bye.

*Austin watches "Alyssa" leave*

***3 Minutes Later***

*~*The Male Figure from before standing by the giant statue*~*

Male Figure: *He spots "Alyssa" and walks over to her* There you are!

"Alyssa": *says quietly so no one hears her* Sorry, Dezmond, I got a little lost.

Dezmond: *also says quietly* It's OK, Allyson, but we got to go. You're gonna be late.

Allyson: OK.

*They walk out of the village and over to two horses*

*They mount the two horses*

***5 Minutes Later***

*They ride their horses up to a castle*

*They slow down*

Dezmond: See you tomorrow, Allyson!

Allyson: OK! Bye!

Dezmond: Bye! *rides off*

*Allyson rides towards the castle's stables*

*She gets off her horse and walks up to the castle and goes inside*

A Man: *calls from another room* Is that you, Allyson?

Allyson: Yes, Father!

Allyson's Father: Can you come here! I need to talk to you!

Allyson: OK!

*Allyson walks into a big, fancy drawing room*

Allyson: What is it, Father?

Allyson's Father: Take a seat *gestures to a soft, fancy across from him*

*Allyson sits down*

Allyson's Father: Now as you know, I want you to get married–

Allyson: –Not this again Father!

Allyson's Father: I just don't understand. Why you won't marry the young men I–

Allyson: *stands-up* I've said it a million times before! They don't love me! They only care that I'm Princess Allyson Dawson!

Allyson's Father: What does it matter if they love you if they have pow–

Allyson: It means everything! To me! How can I be happy with someone who doesn't love me, or even like me for that matter!

Allyson's Father: You know I want you to be happy, Allyson. Just calm down. I have a proposition.

Allyson: *sits down* *still a little upset* What is it?

Allyson's Father: You want to marry someone who loves you?

Allyson: Yes. Truly loves me.

Allyson's Father: If I find someone who truly loves you, will you marry them?

Allyson: Yes, I will.

Allyson's Father: OK, then. It's deal?

Allyson: Yes, but I want it in writing that you will find someone who truly loves me. Not just pretending.

Allyson's Father: OK. I'll have it written-up.

Allyson: Good.

***Silence for a few seconds***

Allyson's Father: Allyson?

Allyson: Yes?

Allyson's Father: Where were you?

Allyson: When?

Allyson's Father: Before you came in here.

Allyson: I was uhh…Riding Alice (1)

Allyson's Father: Where?

Allyson: Just around. Don't worry, I was with Prince Dezmond.

Allyson's Father: OK. Good. Did you have fun?

Allyson: Yes. Now if you excuse me, I need to go feed Alice.

Allyson's Father: OK.

*Allyson leaves*

Allyson: (once out of her father's earshot) *exhales* That was close.

Things to Know:
(1) Alice is Allyson's horse
-The reason Alyssa had quotation marks ("") around it was because it wasn't her real name, it was an alias. Allyson's her real name.
-Allyson is Ally and Dezmond is Dez. They're royal so they go by their full names.
-Trish will be in here soon, like in the next chapter, so...soon.

JoeyJar99's Message
This was the first chapter (or episode, whichever you prefer) of The Competition for the Princess's Heart. Did you like it? Should I upload more? Or was it lame and stupid? Hm?

Disclaimer
I do not own Austin & Ally. Though, since this is in another universe, I'm not sure how much I'm using from the actual show, but I don't want to get in trouble, so. Also, I forgot to put the disclaimer on Operation: Dirt on Derek and Questions so the disclaimer for them too.

Reviews
I honestly didn't think I was going to get any reviewers because I uploaded Operation: Dirt on Derek last night and Questions this afternoon, but hey, I've already got 4. Yay! The reviews made me smile so mush, it's not even funny (OK, it's a little funny, but shhh...)

LiMeADDeLOVES-life: Are you saying I should add more after what I've written or expand what I already have? Nonetheless, Thankyou! You were my first reviewer EVER so, YAY!

SUPERFAN01: Thankyou! I was worried it was lame or stupid or whatever, but apparently it's cute! SWEET! P.S. You were the first reviewer on Questions and my second reviewer overall.

NE (Guest): Thankyou! Your review made me laugh. Have you ever seen the old(ish) Disney Channel show "Cory in the House"? If so, do you remember that episode where Cory (I think) gives this big speech and then Newt's says that he deserves a slow clap the builds-up to a roaring applause (or something like that)? That's you reviewer reminded me of. If you haven't seen the show/don't remember that episode, then I just sound like a complete Whack-job, opposed to my usual semi Whack-job-ness.

arianapa1216: Thanks-a-doodle (OK, that was weird, my bad. I shouldn't have said that)! I'm glad you thought it was funny. In my original summery, it said she broke-up with him "because she don't roll that way." and my friend found it funny. I couldn't use that summery because it was too long. Oh well, they're loss. OK probably not, but it makes me feel better. And, I will keep up the good work, Thankyou very much. I have this story, two other stories (that I will upload the first chapters of in a moment), and about 8 different one-shots I'm working on right now, so I'll continue if people like my writing. Wish me luck!

Later! Over-and-Out! Live long and prosper! :)8
